2.5 Rack Mounting
An optional kit is available for mounting the 2105 in a standard 19" equipment rack. This is
listed in Section 4 of this manual. Follow the installation diagram included with the kit. If the
2105 is to be transported while mounted in a rack then it must be supported so as to prevent
upward and downward movement.
The user should note that the specifications for the 2105 become degraded at high
temperatures thus it is required that sufficient room be allowed for airflow around the 2105.
This may be achieved by placing a minimum 1.75" blank panel above and below the 2105 in the
rack.
If a unit placed beneath the 2105 has an unusually hot exterior top surface and it is not possible
to alter its location, it is recommended that an aluminum "reflector" plate be used between this
unit and the 2105.
Under no circumstances should the ambient air temperature surrounding the 2105 be allowed
to exceed 50°C while in operation or 70°C while in storage.
2.6 Safety Precautions
The power connector is a three-contact device and should be mated only with a three-contact
connector where the third contact provides a continuous ground connection. A mating power
cord has been provided. If the power is provided through an extension cable then the ground
connection must be continuous throughout this cable. Failure to provide a continuous ground
connection to the 2105 may render it unsafe for use!
Lethal voltages are routinely present on the rear terminals of the 2105! Always disable the
power source before changing load or source connections.
